Vamadevan has been charged with 11 offences, including procuring a child for prostitution and possessing ID with the intention to commit an indictable offence.
His social media is filled with famous faces and featured the Walt Disney logo, listing himself as their executive director, which police say is a lie.
They allege he has no links to any film companies and falsified documents to keep up his charade.
A court heard on Saturday Vamadevan was only released from jail in March after serving time for similar offences.
He has been granted bail and will appear in court again next month.
